Gearing up for another purge of my lead pile, but I've got alot of stuff I don't know the identity of.

Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.

Odd Spaceships and sci-fi figs. These space people (and some pictured below) have a number 200x followed by a letter and "HM" with a date in the late 70's

6mm is Irregular Miniatures, 11 and 12

mashrewba15 Mar 2014 10:37 a.m. PST

Minifigs 15mm Samurai
How much do you want for the Angel of Death thing with swoed and book?

Oh Bugger15 Mar 2014 11:00 a.m. PST

10. That crossbowman is a minifig I think and the halberdiers look like Mikes Models.

Space Monkey15 Mar 2014 11:12 a.m. PST

I'm pretty sure the spaceships are from Valient's Stardate 3000 line. One of my favorite lines of starships.
The spacemen look like the Heritage Galacta 25 line.

5- Minifigs 25mm. Possibly Alexander Nevski range? Can't tell without seeing the code on the tabs. Most likely of US manufacture as Minifigs UK cut the tabs off.

Agree with Space Monkey, Mashrewba and Angel Barracks. Oh Bleeped text may be right as I don't have much of Mike's Models left to check the style (Leon Lock,(Adler fame) IIRC did a lot of design work for MM.)

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP15 Mar 2014 11:26 a.m. PST

The mounted knights are Mini Fig and the mounted rifleman are Frontier.

HesseDarmstadt6215 Mar 2014 11:29 a.m. PST

Space Monkey is spot on with number one. I've got some of those Galacta figures somewhere in the basement.

Number two I think are Grenadier Call of Cthulhu figures from the early 1980s?

Number four are old Games Workshop/Citadel. I'm pretty sure the first one is a vampire knight, second figure is an ork weird boy (40K, I believe), third one is some kind of undead (tough call there I know) and the fourth I think is a wood elf. These are all from the 1980s.

Number five look like MiniFigs Medievals. Possibly 100 Years War?

Number six, more Games Workshop/Citadel figures. There is a Blood Bowl cheerleader, and there is also an Imperial Artillerist or Standard bearer (the Landsknecht look-a-like at the end of the row). Also an Ork and a Skink.

Number seven, the two science fiction troopers appear to be McEwan Miniatures Amerons, (with needle rifles?) from the StarGuard line.

Can't help with the rest, but I agree with Oh Bleeped text on the halberdiers in 10 look like Mikes Models.

regards,
HesseDarmstadt62

Number 7. – The Pirates are classic Ideal figures. They originally came in a soft, off white plastic/rubber.

Glengarry515 Mar 2014 12:49 p.m. PST

The central 4 figures of #2 are Call of Cthulu, the lady in 6 with the pom-poms is a dark elf cheerleader from Bloodbowl. I think the "smaller, spindlier" Samurai figures in 6 aren't actually Mini-figs but perhaps Naismith?

FABET0115 Mar 2014 1:01 p.m. PST

1 – Pewtercraft Galaktik Taktik starships and Heritage Galactica 25 spacemen.

4 – Third figure is Reaper (Angel of Death?)

7 – Bottom right Old Ral Partha Sphinx.

12 – Looks like Irregular Miniature 6mm

Thanks folks, you all are awesome.

Here's the remaining few I'm not sure about:

Pic 1 b (there are two pic 1's, oops)
-ww2 guy on plastic base

Pic3
-Viking'ish guy with big horn
-Goblin

Pic 4
-GW mounted knight. I think HD62 is on the right track, but is he a vampire knight or a dark elf? I think I'm going to draft him into my bad-guy KoW army, but it'd be nice to know.
-Elf figure at end. Base is obscured, but appears to be RAFM. Any other information?

I really appreciate your help.

Not sure 10 is MM, dont recall casting or packing those fellas.

1 – Pewtercraft Galaktik Taktik starships
Maybe, there is a resemblance between some of the Pewtercraft ships and the Valiant ones, but the Pewtercraft ships are quite a bit more crude in their molding IIRC, not so many fine bits as seen here.

gamedad2515 Mar 2014 4:19 p.m. PST

Number 6 across the bottom are Games Workshop Skink Musician, Ork Weirdboy sounds right, Mordheim Necromancer,
Dark Elf Cheerleader, unknown-cannot read writing on slotta tab, Empire figure, perhaps a weapon has broken off his hand.

Grelber15 Mar 2014 6:34 p.m. PST

Elf figure at end. Base is obscured, but appears to be RAFM. Any other information?

He's a Martian from RAFM's Space 1889 Victorian Adventurers set: link

Alien Sadr Class Destroyer
Federation Hyperspace Sub B
Federation Hyperspace Sub B
Federation Draco Class Destroyer
Federation Hyperspace Sub A Federation Hyperspace Sub A

Thank you Dean. Saved me some typing.

Grenadier Victorian'ish figs and other---

First figure on left is a Ral Partha Neanderthal; one of three in the pack.

The fourth figure from the left is Grenadier "Professor with Tome," I believe he was called, from their first Cthulu boxed set.

Number 7. – The Pirates are classic Ideal figures. They originally came in a soft, off white plastic/rubber.

YES! They came with a pirate ship. Damn. That had to be over 50 years ago.

Mithmee15 Mar 2014 10:52 p.m. PST

Picture #4

GW mounted knight. I think HD62 is on the right track, but is he a vampire knight or a dark elf

Actually he is a High Elf Dragon Knight.

The miniature next to him is a 40K Ork Weird Boy.

Picture #7

3rd from the left is a GW Ork, the far right miniature is a WFB Empire figure.

The cheerleader is a Blood Bowl Wood Elf Cheer Leader.

Number seven, the two science fiction troopers appear to be McEwan Miniatures Amerons, (with needle rifles?) from the StarGuard line.


Negative. Those are Colonial Militia, not Amerons, and yes, they're carrying needle rifles. The elongated helmet ala the Rebels in Star Wars is the dead giveaway; the Ameron helmet is stylistically very similar to the old East German Army helmet of the Cold War era. A further clear difference is the buttons on the colonial militia uniform jacket, which are offset to the right while the Amerons wear a long sleeved flak jacket that in secured straight up the middle.

The figures are produced by John McEwan to this day:

Everyone else appears to have nailed the other items in your lead pile.

#3 the guy with the horn is an Alternative Armies Milesian champion

Gavin Syme GBS Sponsoring Member of TMP16 Mar 2014 11:18 a.m. PST

Picture 3. Third in line Milesian Champion with Horn from the Erin range. Forth in line OH code Goblin circa 1991. Both Alternative Armies. The first miniature in the line no idea, not ours.

Hope this helps.

Amazing!

I'll start at new thread for the very last group that should be out of the Purple Power vat tonight or Tomorrow.

Thanks Again!
